Can I trust these eyes As they scan across beds of lies The beauty in the words My heart burns I need you to be A calming of this sea Not a metaphor of love Spirit of the dove Something I can feel Let me know you are real The soft touch of skin We are akin Don't let tears dry And the blood in the earth cry Fulfill your word Or leave us to what we deserve

Plea
Can I trust these eyes As they scan across beds of lies The beauty in the words My heart burns I need you to be A calming of this sea Not a metaphor of love Spirit of the dove Something I can feel Let me know you are real The soft touch of skin We are akin Don't let tears dry And the blood in the earth cry Fulfill your word Or leave us to what we deserve
